    Here is the link to purchase the EcoFlow Delta Max:
    ecoflow.com/?aff=145
    Cierra and I highly recommend EcoFlow if you are looking for off grid products. Ours have run the cabin for almost a year now and we have had zero issues and are happy with the performance. Also, some people have noticed a clicking sound sometimes in my videos, I was able to fix the issue in the settings of my camera so it shouldn’t happen in the future. I also have invested in 2 new cameras for the channel which will enhance the production and make the videos more enjoyable to watch. Thanks again for your continued support! Have a great day.

      The husband and I are thinking of getting a unit to run our camper while boondocking.
      Btw... nice video!!! We like how you and Ceirra live. Ha, ha we’ve done the same thing, like you do with the chain saw. Some things just keep running. Nice job on the back hatch window. It looks good. Those fishers ( saw on the game cam) can be nasty. We’ve had one around here. We don’t like them. Keep up the good job on the videos. Congrats on getting a couple new camera’s. Blessings!

      We bought one today! After comparing several solar generators, you convinced us the Ecoflow is the right choice. It's the only unit to have 6 AC plugs. Others only had 2 or 3. Thanks Kyle for your review!

    If you want to continue to enjoy the sounds of nature when you are older you should wear some hearing protection when running the chain saw. I'm 58 and I sure wish I had taken better care of my hearing when I was younger. (Chainsaws are not to bad in limited amounts but, every little bit hurts and it all adds up over time. ) Have a nice Day

    My buddies andI have been cutting 10 cords of Birch wood a year for many years. JUST A SUGGESTION , Have you considered getting some Chain Saw pants. Accidents happen so quickly , especially when standing on logs that are on the ground and cutting another at the same time. When we are cutting , everyone has to have the safety gear , if they don't all they get to do is load the wood onto trailers and trucks. Great video by the way.

    • @KYLESCABIN
      @KYLESCABIN  2 роки тому +3

      I have been doing it without safety gear my whole life but I’m sure it’s a matter of time before my luck runs out. As much as I run chainsaw I definitely need to invest in some! Thanks for watching and commenting!

    I have been researching the Jackery solar generators and now came across this brand. I like the fact it has 6 120 outlets and charges faster than a Jackery. Nice review you did on it. I think this unit will more than power my little off grid cabin.

  • @selms22
    @selms22 2 роки тому +1

    Well done once again Kyle. Another great feature of the ecoflow(not my preferred unit) is that it is equipped with a mppt charger controller, which means you can use any solar input of variable voltages and it will automatically adjust the input DC from your panels without damaging the unit.

    You might want to consider using a Lexan (polycarbonate) plastic sheet rather than an acrylic. The acrylic is cheaper, but the Lexan is almost indestructible. The Lexan you could cut with a table, circular or jigsaw and not have it crack. It is also way easier to drill.

I thought I'd be doing some of my outdoor projects this week but I've got snow to clear. While you had your window break, I had my gas tank rust out and had to replace that. Thank goodness I got it done before this snow came! It is supposed to start warming up in the next few days and then stay snow free. Thanks for sharing the information and experience with the old chainsaw. My Poulan I bought several years ago (second hand for $50) is failing me and I'm looking for a replacement. Stihl and Huskvarna are my options, but seeing your old Stihl has me convinced of which brand I should choose. Thanks! Also like your review of the solar generator. Seems like a handy piece of equipment for the off-grid life. Good luck with your projects!

The cabin is wired with a 100 amp entrance panel that distributes power through the circuits. I have lights, electric fridge, ceiling fan and TV. Do you know what components I would need to set this up so that I could switch to the EcoFlow at night and while we’re out fishing/hunting etc…?
